Bengaluru: An 82-year-old Indian woman travelling from Bengaluru to Seattle was reportedly stopped from boarding her connecting flight in Singapore after her US visitor visa was unexpectedly revoked.

The woman was travelling with her American daughter and grandson on a Singapore Airlines flight when she was denied boarding in Singapore and had to return to India, according to a social media post shared by a family member.

Previous US visit may have triggered visa issue

According to the post, the woman held a 10-year visitor visa issued three years ago and had previously travelled to the US.

The family later checked her official US travel records after being advised to review her I-94 history. They reportedly discovered that she had overstayed during her previous visit in 2025 by two days.

The family member said the visa revocation came as a surprise as the woman had been allowed to board her flight from Bengaluru.

Family forced to return to India

The woman was reportedly travelling with her US citizen daughter and grandson. After being denied boarding in Singapore, the family decided to return to India so that she could go back home.

The incident has prompted discussion online about visa validity, previous overstays and the importance of checking US travel records before international journeys.

Several social media users shared similar experiences involving family members whose visas were reportedly revoked without prior notice.

Claims have not been independently verified

The account has generated varied responses on social media, with users speculating about possible reasons for the visa revocation.

However, the claims surrounding the woman’s case have not been independently verified, and the US authorities have not been cited as providing a specific reason for the revocation.

The incident highlights the uncertainty travellers can face when visa status changes after a previous visit, particularly when they are already in transit.
